1 brazillion dollars?
A link or some more details perhaps ?
What is it, just a custom hub body with the standard internals ?

Judging by the visible seals, it doesn't look like he has.

check these fully custom rides out for woods bits.
Maybe he would have taken the opportunity if he hadn't died last year...
